Imagination

The lovely weather tempted me outside this week so only messed about in the craftie space at night time - hence no pics - resulting in - no posts!
This morning though the weather is grey and misty which is typical as now I'm struggling to take pics!!

This make was a bit of an experiment for me but in real life the background colours are lovely and dreamily soft so for once I am happy with the finished article.
The paper was a present last year and it was one of those that I deemed 'too nice to use' - LOL!

All the embossing was done in WOW Fine Bright White direct to the background paper.
I am never very confident when stamping/embossing direct to a background like this one -thankfully I managed this without any mistakes!

The dragonflies were from a clear stamp set bought on my very first NEC visit (in 2009!) and I added a wee bit of Stickles to them.
The border stamp is of course from the beautiful Poppy Meadow set by Indigo Blu.
The sentiment was a recent purchase from Inkylicious - love it!
Some tiny sparkly gems randomly placed, then matted onto a soft green background card.

WOW! What a beautiful card Viv! LOVE the soft colored background with the white lettering! Fabulous sentiment too! Great job! Thanks so much for joining us at The Sisterhood’s ‘SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY’ challenge and please come back again soon! Darleneone of the 'Sistahs'The Sisterhood of CraftersDAR’S CRAFTY CREATIONS

Wonderful card. I love the sentiment and awesome that you presented the sentiment with the soft background so the words really spoke with out a lot of busy details. I really like this card. Like the white embossing. Thanks for joining us at Aud sentiments for our ATG challenge.

A stunningly beautiful example of what can be done with gorgeous background paper and stamping or embossing! This is really very special, Viv, very soft and, as you said, dreamy!! I love it!! Hugs, Darnell
